Reviewing Expectations: A Look Back at Individual Expectations Set for New Jersey Devils
Yes, the playoffs are upon us but let's consider the past regular season for just a little while longer. Earlier today, I took a look back at what the various season previews and opinions pundits, experts, and fans had about the New Jersey Devils going into 2009-10. It was discovered that most -...
Reviewing My 2009-10 Expectations for New Jersey Devils Defensemen and Goaltenders
Back in August, I wrote a series of posts basically coming up with expectations for each Devil on the roster. Not all of them were statisically based, a lot of them came arbitrarily. Still, I felt it was better to state what I wanted to see out of each player prior to the season. Now that the...
Reviewing My 2009-10 Expectations for New Jersey Devils Forwards
This could have easily been titled, "Look at how wrong I was back in August!" Back in August, I wrote a series of posts basically coming up with expectations for each Devil on the roster. Not all of them were statisically based, a lot of them came arbitrarily. Still, I felt it was better to state...
Pre-Training Camp Skate for the NJ Devils; Brian Rolston's Confidence; David Clarkson & the NHLPA
Today, you can imagine Rich Chere and Tom Gulitti morphing into some Brock Samson-like figure and ramming a giant pole vault of news into the unaware and gaping mouth of a security guard outside the fortress of a boring summer. The New Jersey Devils held a pre-training camp skate at the Rock, and...
What Should Devils Fans Expect: Colin White
Colin White has been a mainstay of the Devils blueline since the 1999-2000 season. He's spent his entire career in New Jersey and the 31-year old defenseman will remain for another 3 years thanks to a no-trade clause. (Yes, a no-trade clause. So, don't even suggest here that he will be/should be...
What Should Devils Fans Expect: Andy Greene
The first restricted free agent that the Devils re-signed this summer was Andy Greene, now a New Jersey Devil for the next two seasons. He was signed on July 1 for $1.475 million per Tom Gulitti. As it currently stands, he was the #6 defenseman on the Devils last season and will look to be there...
What Should Devils Fans Expect: Bryce Salvador
In 2007-08, Bryce Salvador served as evidence of the greatness of Lou. Lou Lamoriello obtained Salvador, one of the top 4 defenders from the St. Louis Blues, for Cam Janssen straight up. Janssen was the New Jersey Devils' "enforcer" basically on the ice to hit someone hard and/or fight someone....
What Should Devils Fans Expect: Mike Mottau
Mike Mottau is one of the more confusing Devils to figure out based on last season. Let me offer two views: One, he's a great story. Late round draft pick by the New York Rangers in 1997, toils for years in the minors, catches a break with the New Jersey Devils and makes the roster in 2007-08,...
What Should Devils Fans Expect: Johnny Oduya
Back in May, I stated that Johnny Oduya was a "must-sign" players among the Devils' UFAs. Later that month, I explained why Oduya would be popular this summer and suggested how much the Devils should sign him. Thankfully, the Devils did retain Oduya, signing him to a 3 year, $10.5 million...
What Should Devils Fans Expect: Paul Martin
Last season, Paul Martin continued to emerge as one of the league's better defenders. Others are beginning to notice. For example, James Mirtle ranked him in the top 10 in his Rod Langway Award for top defensive defensemen, the top Devil on his list. And I'm sure GMs across the league are paying...
